Malaysian track cyclist Datuk Azizulhasni Awang says he is targeting a sixth Olympic Games appearance at the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics to complete his career legacy, Malay Mail reported on Thursday (November 5), citing Bernama.
Taking it step by step
The 38-year-old said he refuses to think too far ahead or burden himself with promises of gold. Instead, he prefers to take things one step at a time by focusing on the qualification process first. That measured approach reflects the reality that Olympic qualification for cycling depends on points earned over a long period in international competitions.
A long career
Azizulhasni, nicknamed the Pocket Rocketman, is among Malaysia's most recognised athletes, and a sixth Olympics would put him in rare company among the country's sportspeople. The excerpt reviewed does not list the specific events he plans to target or the training and competition schedule leading to the qualification period.
Why it matters
Veteran athletes attempting to compete at multiple Olympic cycles often inspire younger competitors, and Azizulhasni's plans may also influence how national cycling authorities plan their programme for the next four years. Fans can follow the National Sports Council and the Malaysian cycling federation for updates on his qualification schedule.
